It’s a bit of a lazy snow day. I haven’t done much except had breakfast, finished reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and written a few simple book reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I wrote my most scathing review to date. Want to see it? Okay, since you asked.
This is what I had to say about Home Depot: Profiles in Courage…
“Poorly written collection of stories that came across as a bitter ad hominem attack on people the author didn’t like. The book is neither clever nor humorous and was a complete waste of money. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.”
That’s the entirety of the review. It wasn’t eloquent of well written, but it is the truth. And I’m worried that my writing is bad!
What it did do is make me more determined to write a good story, write it well, and make it something people will want to read and share. That’s my goal. I know I repeat it a lot, but I have to pump myself up. In my head I hear Rob Schneider’s character from The Water Boy, “You can do it!”
Anything that encourages you to be a better writer is good! Although sad that you had to read bad writing to feel that way.

Great writing inspires me want to improve myself, to work to better myself. It gives me a standard to work towards. Bad writing just makes me not want to look that stupid, which is my insecurities at work. Given the choice,I always choose to read good books.
